It isn’t personal. It’s just math, and there are rules.

I'm just here to report that the national debt is now at its highest level ever.

Until tomorrow.

I hope you’re right. I don’t oppose what we are doing, I just ask that we pay for what we are doing via revenue rather than printing money to do it.

Because the logical conclusion of continuing this trend is economic collapse, and a military so weak we can’t defend ourselves at any reasonable level.

A crash will happen, it’s not a question of if, but when at this point. Just enjoy the ride while you can.

Correct. There must be spending cuts and increased revenue. I do believe there is a tremendous amount of fraud involved that must also be "managed" until gone.

The reason I say managed is if the "fraud" spigot is turned off too quickly it could cause real problems.

It’s a just an unfortunate coincidence that the debt increased more on his watch than any other POTUS.

Just bad luck, I guess.

Maybe if he can rid of the Massie types in Congress, we can get our financial house in order.

Muh rescissions

Muh DOGE

Muh tariffs.

Nothing can stop what’s coming

Or insert a coool video of Trump driving a Lambo, and everything will be alright.

Just my opinion, but the national debt is nothing more than an excuse for government to squeeze more money (taxes) out of its citizens.

The real threat is keeping the dollar as the world currency (mainly through the buying and selling of oil in U.S. dollars). That's why we were in the Middle East the last 20-plus years. why we took Venezuela, and why we attacked Iran.

As long as the U.S. dollar is the world currency, government can continue to kick the national debt down the proverbial road.
